[Have a slightly uncomfortable cough before she settled a bit.] My father was what was known as an incubus. It's a type of demon that feeds off of peoples' life force in sex and tries to tempt them to whatever vices they most enjoyed so he could feed.

I'm half that, which means that I'm basically a predator. I eat more meat than anything else, and at the same time I can and do feed when I'm ... with someone that way. The power I have in Freya house is a lot like that, and it ... still works sort of for me like it did at home, only not quite the same.

[She couldn't give energy back at home after all, and people needed to be at their climax before she could feed. So, it wasn't quite the same really. But, she could still 'metabolize' a little of the energy here.]

That's the basics, but I'm guessing you've got questions.

( She nodded as Samantha gave her explanation, an expression on her face that seemed to imply that she was taking mental notes. )

Oh, you've been very informative so far. ( Back home, she'd heard that other Beings tended to be less forthcoming. )

What's your power? I only know what my own is, not what people in other houses might have.

[Sam was a naturally suspicious character, but Luna being a friend of Hermione went a long way with her even if she and the witch didn't always have time to talk anymore.]

They call it Energy transfer. I can take some of your power from you with a touch, give it to someone else. I can take it all with a kiss, knock you out or if I keep taking, I can kill you.
beyondmeasure: (perturbed ‖ that joke was quite rude)

[personal profile] beyondmeasure 2014-08-16 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
( The way Samantha spoke was a little alarming; Luna's eyes bugged out if her head somewhat as she responded. ) I didn't know powers like yours existed here.
samantha_grey: (Pensive)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-08-16 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
mmm? Well, yeah. I don't think most of the people who have that power ever think of using a kiss to knock someone out or kill them, but if they've trained it up enough they can.

I guess it sort of came naturally to me though. [She seemed to notice the bugging of her eyes and looked a little abashed.] Predator and all.
beyondmeasure: (content ‖ i do hope there's pudding)

[personal profile] beyondmeasure 2014-08-17 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
( She'd been more surprised by the power and its end result than the method, so she understands how such a power might come naturally to Samantha. )

Oh, I meant the Energy Transfer. It's just that my power's quite different, that's all.
samantha_grey: (Oh?)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-08-17 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
What power did you end up with, if you don't mind me asking?
beyondmeasure: (surprised ‖ i thought everyone knew that)

[personal profile] beyondmeasure 2014-08-18 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Not at all! I've been given Drawing Life.
samantha_grey: (Yeah...)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-08-18 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that is a lot different. Freyr's powers are very different from Freya's. I admit I'm a little jealous of that, but at the same time, having this is more natural to me. I can deal with that.
beyondmeasure: (surprised ‖ i thought everyone knew that)

[personal profile] beyondmeasure 2014-08-21 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think the gods did it that way on purpose?
samantha_grey: (hmmm)

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-08-22 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I think that the houses give powers that their gods already possess and make 'theirs.' I'm not really sure though.
beyondmeasure: (unsure ‖ they think i'm a bit odd)

[personal profile] beyondmeasure 2014-08-27 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
( Her eyebrows knitted and she looked slightly confused. )

What do you mean?

[personal profile] samantha_grey 2014-08-27 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
They each specialize in different sorts of magic. Thor's much more about being the strongest and fastest, so his powers are more like that. It's not a perfect matchup, but that seems to be what causes different houses to have different powers.
